FXCM, one of the world’s largest foreign exchange (forex) brokers, has launched its app store, FXCM Apps. The app store includes a full suite of tools which allows traders to customize their trading experience.

After being soft launched in May 2012, FXCM's App store is now a full platform for traders to build their own personalized and customized trading platform. Just about anyone interested in trading foreign currency can get the insight and power of top traders by using FXCM's suite, making it as sophisticated or as simple as they want with a few app installations. All of the apps install directly onto your FXCM account, so you can use them wherever you are in the world. It's like having a digital stock broker. FXCM is also building custom apps for their users, so you can work with FXCM to get them to develop something that willll work directly with your strategy.

FXCM also just launched a free Forex Trading Game - anyone can get $50,000 of virtual money and play with the market in real-time.

Unlike the traditional stock market, the Forex market is the most liquid market in the world. Literally anyone can trade and speculate on currency to make a profit. While it's a fairly simple concept, the systems of trading and analysis can often be complex - and with FXCM's app store, these systems can now be as simple or complex as any trader would like.
